'Jeremy should be landing soon, I hope. He promised me he'll be in the delivery room with me when the baby comes…' thought Corinne.
The servants immediately rushed over to help when they heard the commotion coming from the living room. One of them quickly called Lucas to tell him what was happening.
Suddenly, Corinne passed out amid the cacophony of sounds. The last thing she heard was the sound of the ambulance siren wailing in the distance.
…
Meanwhile, Lucas and Sunny were walking out of the school's office. They had completed all the necessary procedures for Sunny to study abroad. Sunny would not have to go back to that school anymore. After some time, he would fly abroad to his new school.
Lucas got into the car first while Sunny remained standing by the door for a long while. His expression was complicated as he timidly said, "Lucas, this will be my last time coming to this school. I might not like studying, but that doesn't mean I don't like this school. After all, I've spent a good chunk of my teenage years here, much longer than most of my peers, trying to get into a good university. Can I stay back to reminisce a bit and say goodbye to my friends?"
Lucas narrowed his eyes. "You can. But don't go anywhere else, and go home before the sun sets."
Sunny nodded. "Got it. Thanks, Lucas."
After that, Edmund closed Lucas' car door and walked around the car to get into the front passenger seat.
Sunny watched as the car drove away.
Lucas had not even left the school for about a kilometer when his phone rang. When he saw the number to be the mansion's landline, he immediately thought something must have happened to Corinne, so he quickly answered his phone.
…
Sunny had no idea what was happening at home. He was strolling around the school grounds. Looking at all the buildings, he could not help but feel ashamed at being stuck there for so long.
'No wonder Xante dumped me. I've been stuck here for so many years while she's already an independent woman who's enjoying business success. She could get any man she wants, so why would she go for someone who can't even get into a good university like me?'
As much as he knew Xante did not want to see him, he could not stop himself from wanting to find her. He justified his decision by telling himself he would be leaving soon and would not be back for another three years, so he did not want to have any regrets about not seeing her one last time.
After making his rounds around the school, he did not say goodbye to his friends. Instead, he got into a cab to find the person he wanted to see the most.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
